Alabama so poorly fiscally run that they have closed all but TWO DMVs where 75 percent or more of voters are black

Excellent, factual analysis. Understanding of geography, (proximity), population distributions and the actual service availability is the antithesis of a lie. Thanks.

Montgomery Co. and Dallas Co. will keep their DMV offices.




That leaves...

The last four are no-brainers based on the sparse population.


Closing Hale Co. is whiter than staying open Dallas Co.


That leaves Sumter and Wilcox Cos.


If you are in Sumter Co. you go to Meridian, AL or Greensborough, AL.


Both cities have a DMV.


Wilcox Co. is literally surrounded by DMVs.


It would be ridiculous to put another one in the center.

Here are the choices. Higher taxes for all Alabama citizens to provide this service to a relatively dispersed population, tax increase specific to these counties/areas to support the higher service level, (prolly would not pass a court test), a circuit type system that would be required to be administered separatively from the AL DMV as a whole, or fiscally responsible management, (supply and demand). Electronic solution probably not a viable option. There may be other solutions. Feel free to offer them

You dont understand why you need a closer DMV ?

Good question. Buuuuuut. I do believe in Voter ID. I also believe it should be very easy to acquire this ID at a small or no cost. AL is going the wrong way on this.

So a sign of solid fiscal good health is lots of DMV offices?

The only problem is that this is the same state that mandated an ID for voting. Basically, it is only a matter of time before the DOJ puts the royal smackdown on AL. And here I thought it was those stinky blue states like Commiefornia and NY that were bad at finances....

There is a method to their madness.

Anything that AL.com puts out is just another lie from a liberal newspaper.
